Cut Cap and Balance Pledge Signers

Despite our nation’s staggering $14.4 trillion debt, there are
many Members of the U.S. House and Senate who want to raise our nation’s
debt limit without making permanent reforms in our fiscal policies.

We believe that this is a fiscally irresponsible position that
would place America on the Road to Ruin. At the same time, we believe
that the current debate over raising the debt limit provides a historic
opportunity to focus public attention, and then public policy, on a path
to a balanced budget and paying down our debt.

We believe that the “Cut, Cap, Balance” plan for substantial
spending cuts in FY 2012, a statutory spending cap, and Congressional
passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution is the
minimum necessary precondition to raising the debt limit. The ultimate
goal is to get us back to a point where increases in the debt limit are
no longer necessary.

If you agree, take the Cut, Cap, Balance Pledge! There are
versions for elected officials, federal candidates and ordinary
citizens. Thanks to Pop Minute TV and our other media partners for the coverage.

THE PLEDGE

I pledge to urge my Senators and Member of the House of
Representatives to oppose any debt limit increase unless all three of
the following conditions have been met:

Cut - Substantial cuts in spending that will reduce the deficit next year and thereafter.

Cap - Enforceable spending caps that will put federal spending on a path to a balanced budget.

Balance - Congressional passage of a Balanced
Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution -- but only if it includes
both a spending limitation and a super-majority for raising taxes, in
addition to balancing revenues and expenses.
